Sending ICE agents to the winter olympics

.
is one of the latest blunders of the trumpet regime.
The optics involved is bringing backlash, causing riots
by the Italians in Milan. What kind of bone headed gesture
is this?

"Italian police fired tear gas and a water cannon at protesters as they tried
to access a highway near a Winter Olympics venue in Milan, Italy on Feb. 7, 2026."

Granted these protesters were not just demostrating about the US but also
expressed anger against Israel and the EU in general. But still, coming fresh off
the killings in MSP the last 'security' thugs one should send is ICE.

trying to make a post. Must have fatfingered it somehow.

I did see this yesterday, though, and it deserves at least a nod:

Rep. Lauren Boebert is PSSED, leaving the DOJ reading room after viewing unredacted Epstein files. "I don't think everyone there that was talking about underage girls being trafficked are victims."

Lauren Boebert is a carpetbagging shitbag (and the rep from my district, unfortunately), but even her permanently stopped clock might actually finally be unwrong, on at least this topic. At least she's not giving handjobs in the back row of the Buell Theater this time. A low bar, of course, but needs must when the Devil drives...

that says there was a before Epstein files societal order, and the after societal order.
Reducing it down to its' essence: what is the point of we plebes following rules, laws, and behavioral norms when the elites do not? And will be continue to do so?

there’s this. This is just rich: a child sex ring is busted, and one of the perps is a screener employed by the neighborhood ICE…

The jokes just write themselves.

Minnesota police announce the arrest of ICE and Homeland Security Backgrounder Rashad Johnson of Maple Grove on charges related to underage sex trafficking.

seems the minor players are not quite smart enough
to figure out they are exposing themselves as being
the enemy of the people. So yeah, learning from their
'betters' hell I can do it too with no consequence.
Moral compass aside, give them a badge and a gun
and havoc ensues. Some call it security. I call it bedlam.
